1 SHADE 2017 Irrigation and Landscape Regulations Issues Facing California Consultants from Drought Legislation Steve Hohl, FASIC
2 SHADE 2017 GOAL To explain how legislation and codes have changed in California to improve water use efficiency in the irrigation industry
3 History OF MWELO 2004 AB2717 passed requesting California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) to start a task force of public and private agencies to evaluate proposals to improve water use efficiency in new and existing urban landscapes. Updates to 1990 Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) SHADE 2017
4 History of MWELO 2006 Water Conservation in Landscaping Act AB1881 Required update to MWELO to take effect in 2010 Local agencies must update at least as effective or adopt State model Requires adoption of performance standards, labeling requirements for irrigation equipment to reduce wasteful consumption of energy or water Controllers Moisture sensors Emission devices Valves SHADE 2017
5 SHADE 2017 MWELO 2010 All agencies in California adopt local at least as effective MWELO Photo Credit: AGWEB,

7 SHADE 2017 April 2015: No snowpack in the Sierras Executive Order: Update to Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) by January 2016

10 MWELO 2015 Applicability 500 sq. ft. (2,500 prior) for public and private development 500 sq. ft. (5,000 prior) for residential projects 2,500 sq. ft. for rehabilitated landscapes Requiring a permit Meeting the applicability requires submission of Landscape Document Package SHADE 2017

12 SHADE 2017 MWELO 2015 Maximum Available Water Allotment (MAWA) MAWA = (ETo x.62) Whereas: Eto = Reference ET (inches per year) 0.62 = Conversion factor to gallons ETAF = ET adjustment Factor (0.45 for Commercial, 0.55 for Residential) LA = Landscape Area (Sq. ft.) SLA = Special Landscape Area (Recycled water, Recreational area, Edible gardens) ETAF x LA + 1 ETAF x SLA Recreational area means areas designated for active play, recreation or public assembly in parks, sports fields, picnic grounds, amphitheaters or golf course tees, fairways, roughs, surrounds and greens.

13 SHADE 2017 MWELO 2015 Estimated Total Water Allotment (ETWU) Whereas: ETWU = (ETo x 0.62) LA(h) x PF(h) IE(h) + SLA ETo = Reference ET (inches per year) 0.62 = Conversion factor to gallons LA(h) = Hydrozone Landscape Area (Sq. ft.) PF(h) = Hydrozone Plant Factor based on WUCOLS or other source IE(h) = Hydrozone Irrigation Efficiency SLA = Special Landscape Area* *All SLA areas automatically designate an ETAF of 1.0 Photo Credit: Donna Williams Blog,
14 SHADE 2017 MWELO 2015 Increased Irrigation Efficiency based on DUlh and Irrigation Management Efficiency (IME) of 0.90 Overhead spray = 0.83 x.90 = 0.75 Drip = 0.90 x 0.90 = 0.81 ETAF (PF / IE)=.45 for commercial 70% low with drip / 30% moderate planting with drip 85% low with drip / 15% warm season turf with HE spray 90% low with drip / 10% cool season turf with HE spray ETAF (PF / IE)=.55 for residential 30% low with drip / 70% moderate planting with drip 65% low with drip / 35% warm season turf with HE spray 80% low with drip / 20% cool season turf with HE spray
15 SHADE 2017
16 MWELO 2015 Landscape Design Plan Turf not permitted on slopes > 25% High water use plants not permitted in medians Water features considered as high water use hydrozone and included in ETWU Compost integrated at 4CY / 1,000 sq. ft. 6 deep Minimum 3 mulch Delineate all hydrozones Identify water use classification of plant palette Permeable non irrigated areas not considered in Landscape Area SHADE 2017
17 MWELO 2015 Irrigation Design Plan Water meters for non-residential landscapes > 1,000 sq. ft. Water meters for residential landscapes > 5,000 sq. ft. ET or soil moisture based controllers Pressure regulator if static pressure > required dynamic Rain sensor Flow sensor on all non-residential systems and on residential systems > 5,000 sq. ft. Master valve on all projects Minimum DULQ > 0.65 or using protocol in ASABE/ICC SHADE 2017
18 Irrigation Design Plan MWELO 2015 In mulched areas, the use of low volume irrigation is required to maximize water infiltration into the root zone* Swing joints required Check valves Areas < 10 feet in any direction require subsurface irrigation or other means that produces no runoff or overspray Overhead irrigation not permitted within 24 inches of non-permeable surface Slopes > 25% limited to application rate < 0.75 inches per hour Trees shall be placed on separate valves where feasible Identify the hydrozone and application rate on each valve I have complied with the criteria of the ordinance and applied them accordingly for the efficient use of water in the irrigation design plan SHADE 2017
19 MWELO 2015 Certification of Completion As-built plan Hydrozone plan kept with controller Irrigation Schedule Maintenance Schedule Audit Report Conducted by local agency or third party certified auditor. Cannot be conducted by person who designed or installed landscape 1 in 7 or 15% of Lots in large development SHADE 2017
20 LOCAL VARIANCES At Least as Effective Variances include: Prohibit overhead spray on slopes No designation of recycled water as a SLA Setback distance from non-permeable landscape areas Timing charts (Peak ET schedule, monthly, volume per valve per month) Hydrozone charts in addition to schedules Definition of Low Volume Irrigation Irrigation Efficiencies Many agencies lack staff and funding to implement and enforce new MWELO requirements Photo Credit: Confusion on plan review implementation due to subjective interpretation and lack of irrigation knowledge SHADE 2017

23 SHADE 2017 THE FUTURE Population increase and limited water resource development require further tightening of potable water use in the landscape Projected California Population Growth ,896,969 40,619,346 42,373,301 44,085,600 45,747,645 Source: California Department of Finance, Table P-1, Last accessed: January 28,
24 THE FUTURE? Decrease potable water use by 50% Further turf reduction Home inspection reports to include irrigation system Expansion of MWELO to existing landscape Water budget.80 ETAF with 55 GPD / Person Applicability Change the SLA to 0.80 ETAF All landscapes require a permit SHADE 2017
25 SHADE 2017 THE FUTURE? ASIC, ASLA, BIA, IA and other organizations work together to collaborate our stakeholder positions and experience to California Department of Water Resources and their Independent Technical Panel Our goals to improve outdoor water use efficiency are in common, including the viable solutions offered to DWR. Irrigation Consultants, Landscape Architects and Green Industry professionals have a call to action to continue to keep the ends in reach and the means practical and effective.
